CASE HISTORY: LOGGING IN DIFFICULT HOLE CONDITIONS

Well Construction
Optimization
Cordax LWTTM

Background Operation Achievements Client Statement

l Fractured reservoirs result in an
unstable borehole, making them a
high risk for typical open hole
logging techniques
l Operator wasn’t expecting to be
able to acquire logs to accurately
locate the high porosity zone due
to hole conditions
l The tectonically stressed area was
conditioned for a total of 10 hrs
with the LWT collars in the BHA
l Once on TD the tools were
deployed and rotation was
necessary while logs were
gathered on the trip out of the well
l Logs were generated while the
operator safely rotated the drill
pipe through the stressed area
l With tools safely inside pipe the
operator risk for bridging or losing
tools in the stressed area was
eliminated
l “We were able to confirm well
placement in the high porosity
streak and accurately set casing
as planned with out lost in hole
risk.”
- Team Lead

l LWT was mobilized to gather triple

combo data through the heel of
the well
